"If gun laws in fact worked, the
sponsors of this type of legislation should have no difficulty drawing upon
long lists of examples of crime rates reduced by such legislation. That they
cannot do so after a century and a half of trying -- that they must sweep under
the rug the southern attempts at gun control in the 1870-1910 period, the
northeastern attempts in the 1920-1939 period, the attempts at both Federal and
State levels in 1965-1976 -- establishes the repeated, complete and inevitable failure
of gun laws to control serious crime." - Senator Orrin Hatch
"The problem is not the availability
of guns, it is the availability of morons."
- Antonio Meloni
"Those who deny me the freedom to carry
a firearm with which to protect my family and myself, are as complicit and
guilty as the perpetrator should we be harmed or murdered by an act of
violence." - Charles F. "Chuck" Bearden

"The ruling class doesn't care about
public safety. Having made it very difficult for States and localities to
police themselves, having left ordinary citizens with no choice but to protect
themselves as best they can, they now try to take our guns away. In fact they
blame us and our guns for crime. This is so wrong that it cannot be an honest
mistake." - Sen. Malcolm Wallop

"Americans have the right and advantage
of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid

A thought to ponder; At the height of the
original Clinton Assault weapons ban Columbine happened in 1999, the term
assault rifle was coined from "AR" to make it menacing during the
administration of Clinton when in reality the term AR stands for Armalite Rifle the originator of the Stoner M16 rifle.

When you look at one example on the other side of the world, it allows us to
reflect on the brilliance of the Constitution and how the founders saw our day
today.

"By calling attention to 'a well regulated militia,' 'the security of the nation,' and
the right of each citizen 'to keep and bear arms,' our founding fathers
recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy... The Second
Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military
relationships in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the
defense of his country. For that reason I believe the Second Amendment will
always be important." - John F. Kennedy
